Citi Australia appoints Will Langley as A/NZ CFO

Citi Australia has announced the appointment of Will Langley as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for Citi’s Australia and New Zealand Cluster, pending local regulatory and compliance approvals.

In his role as CFO, Will Langley will be responsible for overseeing the financial operations of the company in the region. He will also serve as a key member of the Executive Committee, playing an integral role in driving Citi’s strategic growth plans in Australia and New Zealand.

Before joining ANZ, he gained invaluable experience with prominent financial institutions such as Westpac Institutional Bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland, and ING.

“We are thrilled to welcome Will Langley to Citi Australia,” said Mark Woodruff, CEO Australia. “His exceptional leadership in managing complex programs and prudent financial expertise within global organizations will undoubtedly make him a valuable asset to our team. We look forward to leveraging his wealth of experience and insights.“
